    Both City and Rovers are well supported - what they really need is a fighter who’s a clear fan of one of the clubs (ala Warrington) and that'll get the city interested.

    probably cause Bristol is (overall) mostly a posh/wealthy kinda city. Places like Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast are far more working class.

    My cousin played for city.

    Problem is the youth in Bristol don't support the local teams. Their Dads/Grandads do, but they don't. They support the big Prem clubs. They need to somehow get the youth interested. Don't really see it happening though. It's a shame really.

    Who was your cousin? I work with lots of fans of both clubs and things are starting to change there. City in particular but Rovers recent promotion is also helping.

    Not really. It has its up market bits but so do all those other cities you mention. Has plenty of working class areas.

    Yes, and my uncle is Eric Cantona. Prat.

    This British forum full of “I know X person” led up by @Heisenberg and his bought Instagram follower bots and beetroot test neck. How insecure can you be? Lol

    My cousin played for city. I also had the manager of a countries national team stay at my house with his wife just a couple of weeks ago! lol

    Not everyone leads pathetic lives where they have to occupy their time by correcting peoples grammar/spelling on boxing forums. Twonk.

    I'll believe it when I see it. The youth there refer to city as sh*tty.
